lonely stranger

Eric Clapton

I must be invisible;
No one knows me.
I have crawled down dead-end streets
On my hands and knees.


I was born with a ragin' thirst,
A hunger to be free,
But I've learned through the years.
Don't encourage me.


'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here,
Well beyond my day.
And I don't know what's goin' on,
So I'll be on my way.


When I walk, stay behind;
Don't get close to me,
'Cause it's sure to end in tears,
So just let me be.


Some will say that I'm no good;
Maybe I agree.
Take a look then walk away.
That's all right with me.


Chorus
